I got the rest of the charm squares sewn into nine-patches then went thru her fabric to pick fabric to use for setting triangles as I think I will make at least one of the quilts so the blocks are on the diagonal. I have enough nine-patches to make at least two quilts for quilts for kids.

Next time she will have batting I hope so I can start to actually quilt the projects together.

I hurt my back last Sunday after my friend left, helping my DH move some furniture to and from his office - a few flights of stairs were involved. Today is the first day I have really felt completely well again! I spent a few days in bed, then got up to do more and more things. On Thursday I walked to our nearby coffeeshop, but had to have DH pick me up as I was worn out. Friday after the quilting class I went right to bed and slept for hours and hours, but today I didn't have to do that! So again I have learned that I need to be careful with picking up things and helping out.

I put my sewing machine in a suitcase so it was easy to move it to and from the sewing places this week! I couldn't have picked it up I think without wrecking my back again.

Attended the adult ed class. The room was so crowded, I had to set up in the back row where the tables have computer monitors!

The tables are about half as deep, but I was able to push the monitor back so my sewing machine fit nicely. I was behind some nice ladies who included me in on their conversation. They attend a monthly guild that is near my house - at a church. Each month there is sharing and sewing time in a big room they said with lots of seating. The dues are just $25 a year so I may check them out. After the first lady left the second felt she needed to tell me they have a lunch and say a prayer before eating. So I have to think about it some more.

Even with all the talking, I got more of my charm squares sewn together. I sewed so I have a bunch of pieces with three squares across.

No pictures this time.

By being in the back of the room, not only did I have the ladies behind me to listen to and chat with but I was facing a window with a beautiful view so it was, it turned out, a very nice place to set up my machine.
